inverclydenow.com/news/local/7536-signs-to-welcome-cruise-passengers-in-shopping-areasThey never give up do they? They never seem to understand that people who have paid lots of money for a luxury cruise don't want to parade through the shitey pound shops and bookies in the junkie ridden, Soak Mall. They want to see Glasgow where there are real shops and they want to see Loch Lomond and beyond. Why the hell would they want to tour Greenock or take a look at the obvious phallic symbol, Granny Kempock? What really pisses me off about this is the fact that taxpayers money is spent on this shit. I suppose it gives all the little pseudo-middle class, shiny eyed pensioners somewhere to go with their little tartan accessories. It also gives fatty Wilson somewhere to go for pies or would that be canapés? The best thing that could happen is for one of the berthing crew at the terminal to point the crew to Primark and Poundstretchers and just think what could be saved. The old dears could spend their time at home knitting or playing draughts.

inverclydenow.com/news/local/7536....-shopping-areasWot? No signs for the Wrennie or the Tap-End or the Brannie? What about one for the best drug deals or moneylenders? And, apart from anything else, these signs are an eyesore. People, this community has been stolen from its citizens. How much did this pile of pish cost? ARSEHOLES
